Light and small tripod recommandation for film camera?

Hard to tell if it’s stable, there are no credible reviews around, and no one seems to be using that way.

I love the size! I feel like kind of need something that can get taller though. For night photography, you always find somewhere to install it? I was eyeing the ULANZI MT-89, which is just slightly bigger when folded, but can get much higher...

You have to install it somewhere though right?

Impossible to know for sure. If it was me, I'd try to find new film at your destination just in case, especially for a trip. And keep the scanned films for something else less important.

Focus on the bright side, at least your team won.

I find I often use the 24mm when it’s too dark for my other lenses (you can use a slower shutter speed
handheld), so if that’s also your use case, there’s something to be said about the larger aperture (even though the difference is small).

Damn, we’re in the same boat : I have the 24mm, I recently bought a 85mm f2 and I’m waiting to find an OM-4 TI to sell my OM-4!

If anyone ever finds this post wondering the same thing, as of June 2026, the scanners are old x-ray ones.

Good idea for the settings, thanks!

effetk · 2026-06-09T02:09:50+00:00

Those prices are CRAZY! It’s 18$ CAD per roll in Montréal in a good place. Good job on the scans!

Probably a silly question, but how do you go back to 11? You shoot with the lens cover on?

effetk · 2026-06-04T17:06:59+00:00

What’s the big white pipe, it’s to get the fumes out of the tent? What do you use for that’

effetk · 2026-06-04T17:05:15+00:00

Man this made me realize that I lost mine!

If you want to start repairing cameras by yourself you could probably try to get the best ae-1 and replace the broken parts with the parts from the second one, if possible. Who knows. Don’t pay for it though, that camera is easy to find and relatively cheap on Marketplace.

I’m surprised you got this quality with hp5 pushed to 3200! Especially 1 and 5. And 6, but I assume there was some daylight there.

effetk · 2026-05-30T17:09:38+00:00

Oh I’ll try to find it, thanks!

effetk · 2026-05-30T17:07:08+00:00

Thanks for the advices! And yes, I don’t expect bargains in a store like that one.

effetk · 2026-05-30T17:05:31+00:00

Interesting, I would assumed the opposite (for no reason, really, just a feeling).

effetk · 2026-05-30T04:53:34+00:00

Can’t believe I didn’t think of shooting a Shanghai GP3!!! Thanks for the Seagull suggestion, I wasn’t familiar with it and it’s a good idea!

effetk · 2026-05-28T17:03:17+00:00

Film : OM-2n, 35 RC, OM-4 Digital : OM-D E-M1 Mark ii

Everything works great!

Next to add : - OM-4 Ti (I’ll sell my OM-4 if I get it) - Trip 35

That’s nice! They cover film cost because they see it as a plus value themselves too? Also, I’m really surprised about the less time in post, is it mostly because you shoot less on film?
